GEN. ROBERT TOOMBS. the north, at Union
college, New York. In 1861 he was in tho
United States senate from Georgia. On the
9TH of January he made his last speech in tho
senate. 1t was SO remarkable that old MEM
bers remember it and talk of it TO this day.
He demanded the right to take slaves into all
the territories of the Union and hold them as
property. He demanded, likewise, that slave
property should be protected in the free states.
"You answer MOI" he shouted. 1T is the
price of my allegiance | would rather see
the population of my own, my native land,
beneath the sod than that they should support
for one hour such government"
Gen. Toombs died not long since in Georgia,
boasting to the last that he had never been
''reconstructed.o
For six weeks after Antietam the Union
army remained inactive in Maryland. Nov.
! they crossed again into Virginia. McClel-
ian was preparing for another campaign
against Lee, whose army had by this time
been increased by recruiting to nearly 10000
men. Lee, when Mcclellan crossed the Poto-
mac, retreated southwark. He himself, with
half his army, marched up the Shenandoah
valley, thence to Culpepper, where he took
position. jackson, with the cavalry, was left
three days behind him. to watch Mcclellan ]

There was, however, more or less lighting
till dark. The battle of Antietam was foughC
in woods and corn fields The hlo0dlest poI-
ton was in the vicinity of a peaceful small
white bunker church, a little north OF
Sharpsburg. Antietam, too, like Waterloo,
had its terrible sunken road. This was road
to the southeast Of bunker church ana DC
tween that and Antietam creek. When the
fighting ceased that bloody day the sunken
road was piled even full with the bodies OF
Confederate dead.
Antietam was drawn battle. The Fed
eral forces were not pushed into action VI5or-

Lee had about 10000 The Union loss was

whole campaign in Maryland the Federal
army lost 14,200, the Confederates l2,5OO
There was fearful loss of officers on both
sides at Antietam There was no fighting on
the 18th Of September. Mcclellan was pre-
pairing to renew it on the 10Th But the night
of the 18th the worn and exhausted Contcd-
crates folded their tents and stole away down
the Shepherdstown road and across the Ioto-

1t will be seen from the map that the An
tietam is creek which flows nearly due south
through MARYLAND to the westward of and
nearly parallel with the South Mountain.
Across Antietam creek, and on its west side,
is the village of Sharpsburg. Along Antie-
tam creek and in and around Sharpsburg the
bloody battle of the 18th of September was
fought between the forces of Lee and Nc
Clellan.
The intervening days had given Lees army
time to collect itself Harper's Ferry sur
rendered to jackson on the 18th, and imnle-
diately he and Gen. Walker, with all their
forces, set out by swift marches to join Lee
and relieve him of his peril. They crossed
the Potomac to the Maryland side at the
Shepherdstown ford, from which a road led
directly to Sharpsburg.
The Confederates name the battle of the
18th for the town, Sharpsburg; the Federals
name it Antietam, after the creek Lees
fighting force at Sharpsburg was only $1,000.
He had entered Maryland Sept with not
quite $1,000 infantry troops. He had lost
nearly 10000 men by exhaustion and strag-
Cling in those thirteen days. In the battle of
Antietam Mcclellan had o7,164 men, G0,0OO
being engaged in the fight.
Concerning this fight Gen. Longstreet
speaks his mind from the Confederate
standpoint in his usual free manner.
Speaking Of the night of the 18th, after Lee
heard of the fall of Harper's Ferry, he says:
"Right then we should have retired from
Sharpsburg and gone to the Virginia side Of
the Potomac"
Mcclellan followed the retreat of Hill and
Longstreet on the 18th. There was a slight
skirmish on the borders of the Antietam on the
18th. During all the 10th both armies were
busy preparing for the tremendous fight
which they knew was impending. By the
18th the Confederate Gen. McLaws, too, had
been able to join Lee at Sharpsburg.
The morning of September II found most
of McClellan's army across the Antietam, on
the same side with the Confederates. Hooker
had crossed first, the afternoon of tho 10th.
There was on that day an indecisive brush
between Gems. Hooker and Hood Gen.
Hooker's corps formed the extreme Fed
eral right at the battle of Antietam.

began, but when the war note sounded the
old military instinct stirred within them, the
old military habit dominated them again,
and they fastened to tender their services for
the contest.
Gen. Richardson was in both the Seminole
and Mexican wars, and III all the hardest
fighting of the Army of tls, Potomac up to
his death. He had only been appointed
major general July +, 1862. He was actively
engaged at South Mountain three days be-
fore receiving the mortal wound at Antietam.
He did not die at once, but fingered in Il suf-
fering state at Fry's house, McClellan's head
quarters. whittier he was carried from the
field. He died Nov. g.
Brig. Gen. George 3. Anderson's death
caused profound regret on the Confederate
side. He,was yet young man. He was on
the Confederate center, and was m0rtalIy
wounded shortly after the fatal shot struck
Gen. Richardson on the Union side.
The brigade cf Gen. Roger A. Pryor, who
took his division commanders place after the
latter was wounded, participated in the ter
rible fighting at the sunken road
The career of Gen. Roger A. Pryor is
notable instance Of the changes time has
brought about. A native of Dinwiddie
county, Va, he was one OF the most jealous
of Confederates. He went in person to South
Carolina to urge On the secession cause to the
point of war. He fought for the Confederacy
both in its armies and in its congress. Once
during the war he was captured by the Fed
erals and imprisoned in Fort Lafayette.
And now, twenty-f five years after he fought
the North in the bloody battle of Antietan
he finds himself engaged in a peaceful and lu,
crative law practice in New York city
When sometimes he sails down the bay for .
pleasure trip in summer, or steams out CT
New York harbor in an iron ship for longer
journey across the Atlantic, as he glides past
the Narrows, his eyes rest upon the green
eartnworl1s of old Fort Lafayette, where he
was prisoner nearly quarter Of O century
ago.
